i7 3820 : Best Air/Water Cooler?

[Alpaxj1]

Hi,
I have a i7 3820 CPU and have researched peoples opinions on the best coolers for the CPU.
I just wanted to throw a question to the community about what would be a reasonable/cheap cooler. I am not intending to overclock, just stock speed at 3.6 GHz and maybe some Graphics/3D modelling.

Here is some:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
H60
Noctua NH-D14


I would prefer not to spend more than £45 on a cooler whether air or water(H100i/H80), so if anyone experienced in this area could give me some advice on coolers that would be great.

Thanks in advance!
Jas

No chance for H100i for 45 quid. More like the H80.

Notes:

For 45 Euros you are simply not going to get a water cooler...try air cooler for that price range...I listed one of the best however it would be for light to medium over clocking only...I hope this helps answer your question a little bit better. Also please remember to select your best answer so that others may learn from your thread. Remember that you can contact me anytime about any questions or concerns you might have about things in the future. Thank you for your time and have a pleasant day/night.

Thanks for your advice guys,
I wasn't too sure about the Hyper 212 EVO as I thought it didn't support LGA2011 Sockets or 134w max TDP CPU? :: Look at the website below, doesn't say it supports the Socket LGA2011...?

Would the H60 support the i7 3820 at load...

thanks for your time & advice in this, much appreciated.
